80 actually holds a special place with me as it was the first Ultraman series I had ever seen outside of the original, and this was way back probably in 82/83 so the series was still very fresh. My parents took me to a show in the bay area at a hotel that was featuring Godzilla, Anime, Toku etc..., long before anime cons were all what they are now. I remember walking in, and they had a few TV's set up in a viewing room, and it was an episode of Ultraman...but it was something "new" (I would not know for many years it was actually Ultraman 80 episode 3). I just saw it was a new/different Ultraman, and I thought it was cool. I had no idea there were so many series in between until much later.
I've seen probably the first 10 episodes or so, and the one with the Evil Ultra 7, but I do plan to watch the rest all on CR soon. But as I typically do, I like to skip to the end, doing this doesn't spoil a series for me. But I thought the ending was pretty weak. Not sure why later Ultra series (Taro did the same, not sure about Leo yet as I haven't watched its finale), had this whole "ok Ultraman has defeated every monster for us, now we have to do it on our own" thing going. The final episode should be an epic battle, not time to let Ultraman step aside and just fly off...I mean I know this *kind of* happened in the original series as well, but the Science Patrol only stepped up after Ultraman was defeated, which, while not ideal, I can live with. Admittedly I was a bit distracted while watching this, but did they even defeat the monster? Anyway... despite the weak ending, I still plan to watch the rest of this series soon, looks like there are several good episodes to make it a pretty good overall series despite the ending.

There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
